Tatami Starbucks
Tatami Starbucks
At the new Starbucks built into a machiya. I came to Kyoto. This is newly opened Starbucks with traditional Tatami style. Getting in and getting a place to sit is a bit draconian, but we were lucky to get a small tatami room that only fits 6 people. Felt cosy and comfortable, like spending time in a friend's house.
Ochazuke Japanese Cuisine
Ochazuke お茶漬け is a Japanese rice with hot green tea or hot soup stock. The dish is easy to make and provides a way to use leftover rice as a quick snack. It is also known as cha-cha gohan. Since the 1970s packaged "instant ochazuke", consisting of freeze-dried toppings and seasonings, have become popular.

Nihonshu
Sake or Nihonshu, the so called "Japanese rice wine", is traditionally considered as a sacred alcoholic beverage. We have the custom to hit and break open the lid of a sake barrel by a wooden mallet, which is known as Kagami Biraki (open the mirror) to celebrate happy events, such as weddings, store opening events, ritual events held at shrines.
Kakigori or Japanese Shaved Ice
Kakigori is a Japanese shaved ice dessert flavored with syrup and condensed milk. During the hot summer months, kakigōri is sold virtually everywhere in Japan. Some shops serve it with ice cream and sweetened red beans.
